Why is it that American battleships dont engage with their mainguns @ horizon level or (LOS,line of site)? Pretty irritating to watch an IOWA class not shoot main guns until 3 miles, when they have a very accurate range of 23 miles. Another thing, im trying to find the MOST historically accurate enagements, fleets sizes ect. for the Battle off Samar (Leyte), I would love to see the actual TASK FORCE 16/17 in all there glory against Japans DIV #3 battlegroup. Thanks all! For me, accuracy is very important for the full flavour of what really took place. Im new with the ADD ON MODS. Any certain mods and how to achieve success for them to work would be a bonus, ive already tried, no grain MOD and WW2 radio MOD, neither of which i was able to get working.
